Beijing-Hong Kong Affair

Chapter 79 The truth comes out
After getting in the car, Lin Xian frequently checked her phone. She felt that since Jiang Yunian was worried about her being with Chen Ji, she told him every detail of her whereabouts.

For example, she was sitting in the back seat of Chen Ji's car, preparing to go to Tan's restaurant for dinner.

It was already five o'clock in the afternoon when Jiang Yunian got off the plane. After receiving Lin Xian's message, he immediately called a taxi and rushed to the hotel where Tan Jiacai was staying.

Tan’s cuisine is a famous private restaurant in Beijing, and its private rooms are low-key and luxurious.

When Lin Xian and Chen Ji walked in, Chen Changming was already sipping tea.

Seeing the two of them coming in together, Chen Changming asked in a lukewarm tone, "Are you here?"

"Ah."

Chen Ji handed Chen Changming a file bag, which should be what the secretary wanted to take home.

After Chen Changming took it, he put it on the tea table with his backhand and glanced at Lin Xian. "There's no outsider here today, so don't be so reserved."

"Yes, Uncle Chen."

It has to be said that Lin Xian was quite afraid of Chen Changming. He was majestic when he didn't speak, and his eyes were deep and unfathomable.

She could tell that Chen Ji wanted to talk to Chen Changming alone, and then a phone call came in. "I'm going to go out and answer the call. You guys talk first."

Seeing her leave tactfully, Chen Changming smiled.

"Why didn't I think this girl was quite sensible before?"

Chen Ji stood beside Chen Changming and filled a cup of tea for him. "She has always been very good at observing people's expressions."

Chen Changming then opened the file bag and asked, "Do you know why I'm looking for this birth certificate?"

Chen Ji glanced at it and shook his head, "What does this woman have to do with Lin Xian?"

Chen Changming sneered, "I thought you had improved, but I didn't expect you didn't even notice such an important point. The woman's surname is Lin, and the registered address is the address of Mr. Lin in his hometown. Do you think she has any relationship with Mr. Lin?"

Chen Ji immediately reacted, "This address is Mr. Lin's former home? But I only heard that he has an only daughter, who is Qiao Zijin's adoptive mother."

Chen Changming was full of disdain. "You don't investigate things clearly and are still so impetuous. Do you think you are still in school? Learn some tricks to trick Lin Xian and then play the role of a good guy? It's okay to fool a little girl, but for someone like Mr. Lin who has been immersed in the officialdom for many years, your little cleverness is not enough."

Chen Ji's face turned pale and blue. He never expected that his father had seen all the stupid things he did during his adolescence.

"You know it all?"

"I just want to tell you that if you want to do it without anyone noticing, your skills are still too low."

"Dad, what do you think I should do? I originally wanted to take her to get the marriage certificate and tie her down first. Then I can discuss business with the Li family."

Chen Changming glanced at him and said, "Her personality is not clear to you yet? If she was so obedient, she wouldn't have stayed away from home for four years in college."

After Lin Xian finished her phone call with Jiang Yunian, she heard the voices of Chen Ji and Chen Changming talking at the door.

Although she didn't hear the first half clearly, she heard the second half clearly.

What does it mean to play a prank on her and then play the good guy?
Lin Xian was not a fool, and she reacted after a little thought.

It turned out that she was isolated and secretly photographed changing clothes at that time, all at the instigation of Chen Ji.

No wonder, he always gets to her side first and comforts her at the right time.

But when she wanted to get closer, he took the opportunity to leave.

His ambiguous attitude made her anxious and worried, and she always thought that she was not good enough, which was the reason for this.

Who knows, all this is just some spice to the young master's boring life.

What a sad thing.

The past events that she had been carrying in her heart for so many years were all just a joke.

But she didn't understand what Chen Ji meant by getting the certificate?
Lin Xian's fingertips trembled slightly, and she didn't even have the courage to push open the door.

With what identity did she question? And with what attitude did she question?
After all, she was able to leave the orphanage and avoid being sexually assaulted by those beasts, all thanks to Qiongying and the Chen family.

How could she possibly become enemies with Chen Changming now?

Lin Xian leaned weakly against the wall, feeling an endless sadness in her heart.

The people inside seemed to notice something and stopped talking.

Lin Xian quickly adjusted her state and tried her best to hide her emotions.

When she opened the door again, she had returned to her normal expression.

"Uncle, the waiter just asked if the food could be served."

"Well, it's alright."

Three people sat at three different positions, and the round table, which could accommodate ten people, seemed quite lonely.

"Lin Xian, I want to let you take full charge of your aunt's funeral. This will also let everyone know that you are still a member of our Chen family." Chen Changming spoke without making a single mistake. Lin Xian took a deep breath to calm herself down. "Uncle, this is not appropriate."

"What's inappropriate about that? Sooner or later, our relationship will become closer."

Lin Xian glanced at Chen Ji, "What do you mean?"

Chen Ji smiled faintly, "I told my dad that I like you and decided to marry you, and he agreed."

Lin Xian's heart was in turmoil. She guessed that Chen Ji's sudden change in attitude was probably related to the first half of his conversation with Chen Changming.

How could she deserve to let someone who once hated her propose marriage to her?

It's weird no matter how you look at it.

Lin Xian suppressed her emotions and said calmly, "Uncle, I am nominally your and aunt's adopted daughter. I'm afraid you won't agree to such a ridiculous thing as marrying your own brother."

Chen Changming took a sip of tea and said, "We, the older generation, cannot interfere with the affairs of young people. Besides, I am not a pedantic person. Since you are not related by blood, it is fine if you have similar interests."

Lin Xian understood that Chen Ji was able to say this because he had consulted Chen Changming.

Now she was in this heated box, but she felt cold all over.

The father and son were both very deep-minded, and she, a girl under 23 years old, could never defeat them.

Chen Ji poured Lin Xian a cup of tea and said with concern, "Drink some tea to moisten your throat. You suddenly came back from Hong Kong City, so you may not be used to the heating yet."

Lin Xian saw the same tenderness in Chen Ji's eyes as before, but now looking at it again, this fake tenderness only made her feel extremely disgusted.

She wouldn't drink anything he offered her.

How could she sit still when she saw through the father and son's ill intentions?

Lin Xian lowered her eyes, held the phone tightly, and hesitated whether to call Jiang Yunian.

But he was still in Hong Kong City, so even if he called, he would not have time to come and help her.

Lin Xian deeply regretted agreeing to go back to Beijing with Chen Ji.

But if she doesn't come back, the truth about how she has been deceived for so many years will never be revealed.

Chen Changming's smile did not reach his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "Lin Xian, do you look down on our Chen family?"

"No, I don't dare. I can't afford you. I remembered that I had something else to do, so I left first."

Lin Xian stood up and prepared to leave, but Chen Ji stopped her first.

"You haven't even eaten yet, why are you walking?"

Why did she have to eat this meal?
Chen Ji brought the cup of tea to her again and said, "Drink the tea."

Even though Lin Xian realized it slowly, she realized that there was something wrong with the tea.

She must not drink!

Chen Ji no longer had his usual patience. He pinched her cheeks and poured tea into her mouth without saying a word.

Lin Xian struggled to look at Chen Changming beside her, but he was drinking tea calmly, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with Chen Ji's behavior.

Lin Xian kicked Chen Ji several times with all her strength.

Chen Ji seemed to be unable to feel the pain. "Why are you so fierce? Do you know what my favorite thing is? Taming wild horses."

Even though Lin Xian vomited a lot, some of it was forced in by Chen Ji.

"I used to find you fawning on me unpleasant, but now you look like this, and I'm quite interested in you."

"Chen Ji, you bastard!"

After Lin Xian finished cursing, she found that her body was weak and she couldn't even stand steadily. She felt a sense of restlessness in her body.

Chen Ji took the opportunity to hug her and said, "Sister, women don't love men unless they are bad, do you understand?"

Chen Changming said coldly: "Don't embarrass yourself here, go upstairs and get a room, and get the business done tomorrow."

"Okay."

Lin Xian was in despair.

She didn't expect that Chen Changming, who has always been a philanthropist, would be so indulgent of Chen Ji's misbehavior.

They are committing a crime!
Lin Xian was supported by Chen Ji as she walked out, and the door of the box was just pushed open.

A man hurried in, past the waiter, and Lin Xian saw the God who could save her.

Her eyes instantly turned red, and she spoke in a hoarse voice, "Anian."

　see you tomorrow
